Most Popular Baby Names of the 20s

The 1920's were a changing time for the United States. The United States Census reported that more Americans lived in urban areas than rural ones, the World Series was broadcast for the first time, Charlie Chaplin and Mae West kept people laughing at the movies, Charles Lindbergh completed the first solo transatlantic flight, and the decade ended with the stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression. The most popular baby names of the 1920's reflect that while traditional names are still represented, new names were appearing.
